A solution how to calculate locations scores that depict the quality of specific locations as an installation point of an access point is disclosed. To calculate a location score a network planning area is divided into location topology cells, and in each location topology cell a plurality of predefined metrics that take into account environment are calculated. Then the metrics are converted into metric scores, and from the metric scores a location score for a location topology cell is calculated. Further, a solution in which final positions of access points are determined in a two-step procedure is disclosed. Firstly, initial positions are determined based on received planning information. Then final positions are determined starting from the initial positions and using both planning information and location scores.
